       You can customize the desktop background in the following ways:

	 o  Select an image to display on the desktop background. The image is superimposed on the desktop background  color.  The  desktop  back-
	    ground color is visible if you select a transparent image or if the image does not cover the entire desktop background.

	 o  Select  a  color  for  the	desktop  background. You can select a solid color, or create a gradient effect with two colors. A gradient
	    effect is a visual effect where one color blends gradually into another color.
